"Even though I can't play golf very well, I look forward to joining all my NHRA friends to play and
raise money and awareness for our great charities," said Doug Herbert, founder of B.R.A.K.E.S.

"And no one would want to miss our pancake breakfast on Saturday morning at the track. Last year we
were joined by almost every Pro driver, and the comedy show that John Force and Antron Brown put on
was priceless!"
The Hot Rods and Hot Cakes breakfast, held on Saturday of the Dollar General NHRA Four-Wide Nationals
in the zMAX Dragway pavilion from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., will give fans the opportunity to eat breakfast
alongside NHRA's most notable team owners and drivers.

"Your favorite driver may even be flipping your pancakes or refilling your coffee," said Lisa
Starnes, director of the Charlotte Chapter of Speedway Children's Charities. "It's a great
opportunity to support a good cause and have some fun at the same time."

Tickets for the Hot Rods and Hot Cakes breakfast may be purchased in advance for $10 or the day of
the event for $15. Proceeds will help SCC continue to support local children in need as well as help
B.R.A.K.E.S. to teach teens the importance of safe driving. To purchase tickets, please call Martha
